Name: Sharrekt
Age: 30 years old, but his body that his mind has inhabited the last 10 years is 24 years old.
Gender: Hermaphrodite, Male-like personality
Race: Mind Flayer - Ulitharid (Mutated strain)
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Power Level: 6
Timeline: Medieval, but can do other times
Appearance: i157.photobucket.com/albums/t53/chrisaden/Ulitharid.jpg
Sharrekt is far taller than even your average human standing at a whooping 8'9". His feet if ever exposed, have two toes on each foot and end with a long soft nail that looks dangerous but isn't.
His internal organs, while being different in appearance than a human's is close enough that an anatomist could recognize the parts as what they are. Although, his nervous system is highly extensive and far beyond any human's in how well developed. Even his digestive system is cognitive and self-aware due to his nervous system. His tentacles surround his circular, jawless mouth that is lined with rows of teeth and excrete a powerful digestive enzyme allowing him to get to a person's brain quickly.
Personality: Quite often like other Mind Flayers, he feels calm, collected, and dispassionate about everything, and only show anger on occasion. Though in reality is mind is in a constant flow and twists of ever changing emotions, but he, like other illithids, are masters of compartmentalizing and internalizing emotions almost completely. He also has a limited number of emotions he can feel. And he constantly seeks out and plans things that cause him feelings of pride, satiated curiosity, and self-satisfaction.
History: Like all Mind Flayers, Sharrekt spent the first few years of his life in the same briny pool as thousands of other mind flayer tadpoles. Though he did have a few differences with incubation period there in the pool than the rest, he was there for twenty years before ever getting removed from the pool to be inserted like the others that spend ten years, or get ate by the elder brain at the bottom of the pool. And again, like all his brothers and sisters and cousins, was fed the same thing inside the pool, a mix of brains and internal organs. By the time he was ready for ceremorphosis, he had grown to just over three inches in length and was about as bright as an intelligent frog.
Upon his insertion into the ear of a helpless human, he began to quickly eat away at the human's brain, engorging himself on the psychic energy. Within the day, the human's brain was gone, and Sharrekt had now melded with the lower portion of the remaining brainstem. Starting the week long process of ceremorphosis, where his rapidly changing mind flayer tissue changed most of the human.
And at the end of the week, nothing was left of the human tissue, having been completely replaced by mind flayer tissue. And his intelligence had blossomed, though he was still an infant in an adult's body. And at the end of it, his mutation showed he had six tentacles rather than the standard four, meaning he was a ulitharid. Which are considered something akin to prophets.
During the ten years that followed, Sharrekt quickly gathered a good deal of both popularity and a good touch of sway in illithid politics, as was normal for an ulitharid. Due to the attention he was receiving, he was also aided with personal training in both fighting and psionic abilities.
Though while he is a gifted psion and incredibly brilliant, and quite strong, he is still only considered to be a young teen as far as how grown up and mature he is.
Powers: Enhanced Physical Abilities: Sharrekt as an ulitharid is quite powerful in melee combat, and his tentacles are just as strong as his actual arms. He can run at speeds reaching just over forty miles per hour, and has heightened reflexes. He is also a good deal stronger than a human, and stronger than his frame suggests, being able to lift about 600 pounds fairly easily and with extreme effort move things weighing nearly a ton, due to enhanced strength and having 8 'limbs' capable of exerting equal force. His skin is also much tougher than human flesh and heals fairly fast.
Psionics: Sharrekt has a limited number of psionic abilities. Using bits of psychic energy, he can influence how others react to him, soothing aggression and potentially making them friendly. He can also implant very short suggestions into others minds and read their thoughts along with communicating telepathically. He also has a weak force field made of psionic energy, providing the protection of studded leather. He can even use his energy to teleport short distances or levitate.
Mind Blast: This is Sharrekt's only direct psionic attack, and by gathering up psychic energy and releasing it in a cone in front of him - the out reaches being at about sixty feet away - he can stun an enemy momentarily allowing him to use his physical powers to soften them up. This can stun the average human anywhere between eighteen and ninety-six seconds, though averages at forty-five seconds. Though more powerful enemies generally are not stunned nearly quite so long.
Equipment: Brainmate: This is a magical walnut sized amulet that records everything Sharrekt sees, hears, and thinks allowing him to revisit anything he encountered while wearing it, with perfect recall. Reaching the memories requires using telepathy, so any telepathic person can read his previous thoughts through it, up to a second in the past.
Weakness: If forced away from a source of brain matter, he will die even with other foods to consume, because his body does not naturally produce the critical enzymes, hormones, or psychic energy the body needs to survive and function. Which he gets from consumed brains, and a limited amount from other internal organs. While he has a great directional sense of sound, his ability to pick out particular components of sounds is severely diminished compared to a human's. Sharrekt is completely unable to feel any true positive emotions, feeling only anger, fear, envy, hate, shame, indignation, contempt, pride, and anxiety. The closest thing to happiness he can feel is that of eating a brain, but it is warped with sadistic and hateful overtones. Pride, satiated curiosity, and self-satisfaction are Sharrekt’s highest emotional states. Dry, hot conditions quickly weaken him and can potentially kill him without a wet suit. None of his psionic abilities are rapid activating, all of them take a few seconds before they can activate, though his suggestions and charming abilities can be smoothly inter-weaved into his talking, making it seem like he has a silver tongue.
